    “I HAVE SPOKEN!”

    “Hey, guys, I have spoken, hear me? Guys? Hey, guys?”

    “GODDAMIT, I SAID I’VE SPOKEN, HEAR ME? DO WHAT I SAY! I DEMAND YOU DO WHAT I SAY! HERE’S MY NAME!”

    The Art of the Deal, indeed.

    This dumb fuck really though he could bomb Iran and it would bring peace to the middle east, you just gave Israel the ball and they’re gonna run with it.

    He needs to go chill in a bunker.

        He doesn’t imagine any scenario except the one that was just told to him the latest. All he does is regurgitate stuff other people have told him.

    Why does he keep posting this stuff on Truth Social. He just looks so amateure. Which other world leader posts on social media like this?

      We already did all this. I guess most people were - in boarding school or something, idk, but we did allll of this before.

      He’s a demented malignant narcissist. For the moment, forget that he’s a rapist, a crook, a fraud, corrupt as the day is long, a tool of russia, and so very, very far from whatever the ideals idiot evangelicals think he embodies.

      He only has one filter: how does [insert subject] benefit him? There are NO other considerations; he is incapable of them.

      From there he goes to the most direct way to achieve the benefit to himself. If one does not exist he follows the Clap-o-meter, or, failing that, whatever the last thing was that someone next to him said.

      It produces such very sad, incompetent chaos. Anyone who didn’t do something to stop him should be very ashamed. But, like trump, the cult doesn’t “do” shame and so here we are again.

        I’m sure every major government has staffers that monitor the public (and sometimes private) communications of other world leaders. That means there are people who work in say Iran, or Israel or Nigeria who are on Truth Social just so they can brief higher-ups about what Trump is doing and saying.

          Oh, definitely. It would probably be irresponsible to not monitor his media unofficially. It’s the way he is acting like this is an official method of open communication to mediate between governments that’s ridiculous to me. Maybe I’ve forgotten how things were before Twitter shut his account down, but I’m still amazed he doesn’t have people who can get him to understand how bad this is

        He’s not talking to anyone but his echo chamber there. It doesn’t matter who else sees it so long as his followers do.

      To be fair, 15-25 years ago that was a thing. Phones in the 2000s had a setting to add a signature to the end of your texts. I think it stemmed from custom signatures in web forums (the thing everyone used before reddit killed them off). Regardless, everyone I knew used that feature, except Boomers, cause they couldn’t figure them out yet. We’ve since done a complete 180°.

    Trump believes he, as leader of America, speaks for all 201 countries that aren’t directly part of the war between Israel and Iran, quote: “upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World.” VP Vance claims he knows more about Iran’s current nuclear situation than anyone else, quote: “Iran is incapable of building a nuclear weapon with the equipment they have because we destroyed it.”

    I cannot stress enough that I want the US government to fuck off and never interfere with other countries’ matters that don’t concern them, and to stop acting as the world police. The US is somehow becoming more delusional.

      Which is quite funny since he literally is a part in this war, literally having dropped bombs on Iran, and now pretends as he is some neutral arbiter. The fucking derangement of it.

      stop acting as the world police

      That was actually a point that Trump sort of ran on during the elections. Getting other countries to start taking ownership for their regions and contributing to the costs of intervention, and the US withdrawing from those areas.

      But just like everything else the goon says, he only means it when it suits him. His followers do not care if what he says and does are not in agreement.

        If the world wants that to happen they have the perfect opportunity to step into the policing role in Ukraine. I’m not sure the EU has the political will to do so to the degree that is necessary.

            Sure, I’m not saying they’re doing nothing at all. But are they doing enough to replace the resources and manpower historically provided by the US in these kinds of situations? I don’t think so. Is there a politically viable path for the EU to get to that point? That remains to be seen.

              I guess nothing is certain until it happens, but I really don’t think you understand what they’re doing over there

              They basically opened up the Treasury and said “tell us what you need to produce weapons and we’ll figure out the money later”. They’re rearming Germany and a few countries are talking boots on the ground in Ukraine

              They’re turning the war machine on for Ukraine as a bulwark. They’re really not holding back

                It’s certainly possible that I have missed some news on the subject but last I heard they had not matched the aid that was being provided under the Biden administration. I hope you are right and that has changed.
